Protest demonstration Thursday, 10 August, Perugia in front of the prison Please support the following call (and send it before the beginning of the demonstration): *** Perugia, 7th August 2000 Freedom for Jaime Yovanovic Prieto who has been arrested after the Anti-imperialist Camp in Assisi the 6th of August 2000. Facing the fact that: � in the cases of the Chilean citizens Patricio Ortiz and Claudio Molina, who were arrested in Switzerland and Argentine through a warrant issued by Interpol (demanded by the Chilean military justice), the Courts had to reject their extradition and give them political asylum as they had to come to the conclusion, that until today human rights are violated in Chile � in Chile there is still existing death penalty � the Chilean democracy is constantly undermined by the National Security Council as a superior organ (composed by the commanders of the three arms of the service, the President of the Republic, the President of the Supreme Court and the President of the Senate), which has a veto in all political affairs of the state we, the signing organisations and persons of the following call, demand from the Italian government, which has arrested the Chilean citizen Jaime Yovanovic Prieto the 6th of August in Assisi and keeps him under arrest in the prison of Perugia, his immediate liberation and political asylum. Jaime Yovanovic Prieto, ex-activist of the Movement of the Revolutionary Left (MIR) is accused to have participated in an action that caused the death of General Carol Urzua, expert for Military Intelligence, the 29th of August 1983. It is necessary to point out that the accusation was issued under the military dictatorship and until today there has not been a process. For Italy the case of Jaime Yovanovic has international relevance, first because Jaime Yovanovic owes his life to the intervention of the Pope and the Cardinal Agostino Casaroli, who promoted his asylum under the protection of the apostolic nuncio in Santiago in 1984, second because the Italian government apparently has not learned nothing from the case of �calan. The Appeal Court now has four days to decide about the legality of the arrest of Jaime Yovanovic. In the meantime we absolutely have to mobilize all our support and we therefore call upon all the associations, organisations and persons to join our campaign, our demonstrations and sit in front of the Prison of Perugia facing his transfer to the Appeal Court where he should be interrogated. Let's unite the anti-imperialist forces against globalisation, for peace and social justice! Freedom for Jaime Yovanovic Prieto! Freedom for all the political prisoners!
